Who we are
We are mail order bride and international dating experts who have been helping Western men for more than 5 years. We worked on different projects together and solo, and now, we decided to unite and create Mail-Order-Bride-Sites.com.
Why?
To continue doing what we can do best: helping Western men find the best dating sites where they can find love and not lose money. There are too many fake, scam, and just poor-quality mail order bride sites—we’ll help you navigate through this ocean.
What we do
- Reviews. We write detailed, honest, and unbiased reviews of the best mail order bride and dating websites. We analyze all the details, from the number of messaging tools to the quality of profiles, and give scores based on our scoring system, which is very easy to understand.
- Studies. In 2022, no one could say with confidence how many mail order brides there were, in what countries they lived, and how much it actually cost to get a bride. That’s why we researched, found, and analyzed the facts and got the latest statistics on the mail order bride industry.
- Guides. How to find a bride online or offline? How to avoid scams? How to understand whether a dating site is actually good or not? We write full, detailed guides on topics related to international dating and mail order brides. If you want to learn more about the industry, don’t miss them.
How we do this
- Editorial Policy. We always double-check our reviews and guides, ensure the facts we provide are relevant and true, and stand for 100% accuracy. But the main thing about our editorial policy is that we do it independently.
- Scoring System. When it comes to evaluating dating sites, there are different factors we pay attention to. Some of them are more important, others are less important, and our scoring system allows us to evaluate these factors according to their importance level.
- Reviewing Process. We test mail order bride websites, evaluate them, and analyze all the factors mentioned in the previous point. Then, we check the reputation and relevance of a dating site, and if everything is fine during these steps, we share the review with our readers.
Why you can trust us
- We’re experts. Yes, everyone can call themselves experts today, but that’s not the case with our team. We’ve been working together since 2018, and before that, each of us had already established ourselves professionally. We know how this industry works and have much to share with you.
- We’re honest and independent. We do not work for any dating company and are not paid by dating websites for our reviews, which is why our reviews are honest and unbiased. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, it only takes one fake or sponsored review to lose a good reputation—and we prefer not to lose it.
- We want to help, not make money. Well, of course, we all need money to live, but we prefer doing it honestly. If we had chosen the path of fake and sponsored reviews, we wouldn’t have become the experts we are today—instead, each of us chose to be honest and fair. Each of us helped dozens of people find love and repair a relationship, and here, on mail-order-bride-sites.com, we’re going to continue doing the right thing.

- Mail order bride expert (2022-current)
Margarita is a mail order wife from Ukraine. She met an ideal man, as she says, in 2021 on a dating site, but before that, she tried several mail order bride websites that were full of scammers. That’s why she decided to help people like her and William, her husband—she says that if there were only good mail order bride sites, the number of happy mail order brides and grooms would be much, much higher than it is now. She saw the mail order bride industry from another angle, and that’s why her dating guides and reviews will be useful for every man or woman looking for a foreign partner.
